Yuan’s componentwise rigidity conjecture
Let , let be the complex unit ball with its canonical Kähler–Einstein metric , and let be irreducible bounded symmetric domains with canonical Kähler–Einstein metrics . If is a holomorphic isometry for the product metric , where , then every nonconstant component is a holomorphic isometry up to a positive constant factor: there exists such that .

Progress summary
A September 2026 unrefereed preprint claims to prove Yuan’s conjecture, but the proof has not been independently verified.
Yuan’s 2019 conjecture proposes a structural classification of holomorphic isometries from a complex ball into products of irreducible bounded symmetric domains.
September 2026 claimed proof
Ming Xiao’s preprint, reported on September 21, 2026, claims to prove the componentwise rigidity conjecture and establish the corresponding classification principle. The result is currently supported only by an unrefereed preprint.
Current status (as of September 2026): Yuan’s conjecture has a claimed proof in Ming Xiao’s preprint, but the claim remains unverified.
